We have slightly different USE flags. Here's mine:
[ebuild R ~] kde-plasma/plasma-workspace-5.11.0:5::gentoo
USE="calendar handbook -appstream -debug -geolocation -gps -prison
-qalculate -semantic-desktop -systemd {-test}" 0 KiB
I notice systemd is missing in yours, not on or off just not there at
all. I'm not sure exactly what calendar does but I do use the one in
the little panel thingy. Not sure if it is the same one or not.
This doesn't seem to affect everyone but it seems to affect some of us.
It seems you are lucky and I'm hoping after going to a new .kde4 that
I'll have the same luck. I've had times before where this helped. Just
something in a config somewhere that causes problems. Besides, I run a
somewhat weird setup anyway. I'm old, that's my excuse and I'm sticking
with it. LOL
Interesting info. Makes one wonder.
